Description de l’éditeur
Thich Nhat Hanh reveals how mindful walking can help you relieve depression, recapture wonder, express gratitude—and bring you into the beauty of the present moment.
Part of the bestselling series of pocket-sized mindfulness books for beginners and seasoned practitioners!
Slow, concentrated walking while focusing on in- and out-breaths allows for a unique opportunity to be in the present. There is no need to arrive somewhere—each step is the arrival to concentration, joy, insight, and the momentary enlightenment of aliveness. When your foot touches the Earth with awareness, you make yourself alive and the Earth real, and you forget for one minute the searching, rushing, and longing that rob our daily lives of awareness and cause us to "sleepwalk" through life.
Thich Nhat Hanh shares amusing stories of the impact mindful walking has on both the walker and those who notice him, and shows how mindful walking can be a technique for diminishing depression, recapturing wonder, and expressing gratitude. Part of Thich Nhat Hanh’s illustrated and pocket-sized Mindfulness Essentials series, How to Walk is a unique gift for all ages, sharing a simple practice that can have a profound effect on practitioners.
